I think wearing a porsche shirt and hat is a little too much. I would feel comfortable saying you can wear one piece of porsche branded apparel at a time. I do like the martini racing line.

I wear my "the world is flat" t-shirt because it is subtle and not brand specific. I never wear Porsche shirts, jackets or hats. It just feels a bit too "look at me" and pretentious.
It's like the Harley guys that have to have the logo on everything they own just so everyone knows they own a Harley and are, by default, the coolest guy on the planet. I can't help but feel contempt when I see it.

Here are my rules on "branded" stuff. My wife thinks I am retarded.

1. Never two branded items together, i.e. hat and t-shirt. One or the other. Together is an "outfit". Guys don't wear "outfits"...

2. Never when driving my Porsche. Only when driving another vehicle. Unless going to a car show or Porsche event. Then it's OK. But it's better to wear a cap or shirt with the logo of one of your other toys...

I'm OK with logoed apparel because the PORSCHE logo is visually elegant. I still wear a Karmann Ghia t-shirt, too, because the logo is just too cool. it took me a bit of soul-searching to wear the KG shirt while driving a Porsche, but if you trace the family history, they're basically siblings.

The comments about Harley owners and two pieces being an outfit rang true to me.

Douchebaggery comes from within. Having said that, anyone who wears a baseball hat backwards is a douche bag.

A little off topic, but my driving shoes are Piloti Sebrings in oxblood. I really like these shoes a lot!

The thing i really don't like about most Porsche design stuff is that it is made in china. Though I do love my Carrera sunglasses made in Austria.
I have a varsity Porsche jacket and a few pca jackets. a couple of polo shirts as well. I do not really plan out my outfit so if i grab a Porsche shirt out of my dresser and a Porsche jacket out of the closet oh well :P
